Default A6 Tire Height Testing

I know I've read a few posts here before on basically 26 vs 28 tire heights and ET/MPH differences. But has anybody actually done back to back testing to see how much difference there is in 60ft/ET/MPH?

Any real testing or known facts would be helpful or any links with data. I tried running a search with no results..

Thanks, Dave

There's more to it than simply making a couple passes with one size and slapping a different size on for a few more passes. Other than the obvious launch method and shift points, several other details need attention to find the true value of the differences.

Obviously. Just trying to find results. Everything I'm finding is for a manual car.

That's because tall tires and A6 gears are a poor combination.
